When closing the rear door using normal pressure it fails to close on the upper latch. This allows the main door to be held closed with only one-half of the latching assemblies. When driving in this condition the 'door ajar' indicator does not light. At these times I am unaware that the door is not fully secured.
A day after purchasing vehicle consumer noticed that the passenger's door didn't latch properly. Dealer fixed door.
